The Environment

Object Parameter Box

The mapped instrument’s parameters are a subset of the standard instrument (see
“Standard Instrument” on page 212) paramet
ers. The missing settings are available on a
note-by-note basis in the mapped instrument window.

Mapped Instrument Window

To open the mapped instrument window, double-click on the mapped instrument icon
in the Environment window. The rows correspond to input notes, and the columns
contain the various parameters available for each note. The window is automatically
opened when creating a new mapped instrument

Monitor Keyboard (Selecting Notes)

The keyboard on the left represents the input notes. It can be played by clicking on it.
You can also select individual notes or note ranges, by dragging the mouse over the
notes you want to use. To select multiple notes, Shift-click on them. Any value
alterations will apply to all selected notes.

Input Name

In the next column, you can click on the input note and give it a name of up to 12
characters. You can initialize the names of the selected notes to their pitch descriptions
(C#3, for example) by selecting Initialize > Names as Notes, or to the names of the GM
Standard drum sounds by selecting Initialize > Names as General MIDI.

Output Note

This column is used to set the output note. This is done by either; double-clicking on
the note description and editing the text, or graphically dragging the beam. MIDI notes
are sent out, allowing you to hear what you’re doing while changing the value. The
Initialize > Output Notes option matches the output notes of the selected pitches to the
input note pitches.
